The Claas brothers

Under the name “Gebrüder Claas” (Claas Brothers), the firm became well known all around the world. So who were the company’s founding fathers, August, Bernhard, Franz and Theo, and what were they like?

Dual-rotor swathers (side swath laying).

LINER 1900.

New arrivals – at the top end of the family.

The LINER 1900, with working width of 8.05 m and rotor diameter of 3.80 m, is the largest, highest-performance side swather. It is ideal for all professional silage businesses and farm contractors. By combining two swaths, material from a working width of up to 16 m can easily be formed into a single forage swath. To avoid forage losses, the rotor overlap is infinitely adjustable from the driver's seat in the tractor. The four-wheel rotor chassis with steered front wheels and a laterally oscillating front axle ensures exceptionally smooth running and exact gauging of the ground contour, on any kind of terrain. On request, the LINER 1900 can be supplied with a six-wheel rotor chassis with additional tandem axles and trailing wheels, for even better ground-contour following, high work speeds and top forage quality.

LINER 1800 TWIN / 1700 TWIN.

Flexibility guaranteed.

The TWIN function allows flexible adaptability to a range of different conditions. The two individual swaths can be combined to form a large swath for a forage harvester or baler. You also have the option of forming two smaller swaths for overnight swathing, small self-loading forage wagons, round balers or large forage volumes.

Hydraulic headland stops.

The LINER 1900 and 1800 TWIN models are equipped with an infinitely adjustable hydraulic headland stop. In the LINER 1700 TWIN, this function is performed mechanically, with two positions. The headland stop allows adaption to an incredibly wide range of crop conditions.

Changeover from single to double swath discharge.

The telescopic booms of the LINER 1800 TWIN and 1700 TWIN provide a choice between single and double swath discharge, simply by relocating the stop bolts.

LINER 1700 - 1600.

Proven LINER reliability.

As well as being consistently reliable, a true hay and straw production champion has to cope confidently with any kind of terrain. The large-size tyres (up to 340/55 R 16) protect soil and sward – whether you opt for a four-wheel chassis, or the six-wheel chassis optionally available for the larger models.

Maximum manoeuvrability through flexible inverted U-frame hitch.

The flexible inverted U-frame hitch with lateral oscillation allows a steering lock angle of up to 80°. An easy-to-read scale is provided for adjusting the rake height on both of the rotor chassis.

TWIN function.

With the TWIN models, an additional swath guard can be used to rake a double swath (overnight swathing). At haymaking time, for example, this protects already dry material from exposure to moisture at night, before it can be collected.

Impeccably shaped swaths, even when the machine has been through.

Optimum swath formation even in the headland, thanks to unparalleled lift heights of 50 cm for the LINER 1900 and LINER 1800, 53 cm for the LINER 1700 and 45 cm for the LINER 1600. Even greater lift heights can be set for double-swath discharge.

Rotor manipulation for zero soiling.

Crop soiling effectively prevented with perfectly controlled rotor lift and lowering, also eliminating any risk of damage to the sward.

Controlled lift and lowering.

Adjustable hydraulic sequence valve for time-delayed lifting and lowering of the rotors. The lift and lowering speed can also be adjusted to the tractor's hydraulic system.

Safe and low-maintenance.

External drive train and individually secured rotors, low maintenance, thanks to the 250-h lubrication interval for the universal joints of the drive shafts.

LINER 800 TWIN / 700 TWIN.

Efficient, high-performance swathing.

The LINER 800 TWIN and 700 TWIN are the ideal harvest partners for small- and medium-sized farms that require productivity at a reasonable price. The impressive features of these swathers include their flexible working width, low power requirement, user-friendly operation and exceptional raking quality. The generously dimensioned chassis and and low centre of gravity make both these models very stable on slopes, and gentle on the soil in all types of conditions. And their outstanding steering characteristics also make them ideal for use in grassland orchard areas.

Road transport.

The LINER 700 TWIN has a transport width of less than 3.00 metres without removing the tine arms. On the LINER 800 TWIN, the rotor diameter is 3.50 metres, so the tine arms can be directly and conveniently secured on the rotor for transport purposes.

Generous lifting height for driving over swaths at headlands: up to 50 cm in the LINER 700 TWIN.

Hydraulic sequential control fitted as standard to adjust the time delay between front and rear rotors when raising and lowering.

Parallelogram drawbar is optional on the LINER 700 TWIN and standard on the LINER 800 TWIN.
